"Cemitas Don Adrian in Van Nuys has been around for nearly a quarter-century and their Puebla-style tortas only continue to get better. Their menu of 20-something tortas can definitely lead to some sandwich-induced stress, so we’ll make things easier on you: order the milanesa de lomo de puerco. It comes with breaded pork loin, bright queso fresco, avocado, your choice of jalapeños or chipotle salsa, and stringy Oaxacan cheese—all sandwiched between a toasted, slightly nutty sesame bun. The only thing that could possibly go wrong with your Don Adrian order is that you like your torta too much and forget to try the other two dozen options on the menu." - brant cox, sylvio martins
"ORDER: Milanesa De Lomo De Puerco Cemitas Don Adrian’s menu of 20+ different tortas can admittedly be a lot on the eyes—particularly after spending all week staring into virtual spreadsheets. Give your corneas a break and order the milanesa de lomo de puerco. It comes with breaded pork loin, bright queso fresco, avocado, your choice of jalapeños or chipotle salsa, and stringy Oaxacan cheese (for an additional $1.99, which you should absolutely do). It’s a glorious, perfectly built sandwich that’s both smokey and savory with just the right amount of heat to get your brow sweating." - brant cox, arden shore
"Cemitas Don Adrian in Van Nuys has been around for decades and their giant cemitas only continue to get better. Their menu of 20-something sandwiches can definitely lead to some hangover-induced stress, so we’ll make things easier on you: order the milanesa de lomo de puerco. It comes with breaded pork loin, bright queso fresco, avocado, your choice of jalapeños or chipotle salsa, and stringy Oaxacan cheese (for an additional $1.99) - all sandwiched between a toasted sesame bun. The only thing that could possibly go wrong with your Don Adrian order is that you house your torta so fast while sitting in their parking lot that you accidentally give yourself another stomach ache. Sometimes it’s just not your day." - kat hong, brant cox, sylvio martins, garrett snyder

"Cemitas Don Adrian in Van Nuys has been around for decades, and their giant cemitas only continue to get better. Their menu of 20-something sandwiches can make ordering lunch unnecessarily stressful, so take our advice: order the milanesa de lomo de puerco. It comes with breaded pork loin, bright queso fresco, avocado, your choice of jalapeños or chipotle salsa, and stringy Oaxacan cheese (for an additional $2)—all sandwiched between a toasted sesame bun. The only thing that could possibly go wrong with your Don Adrian order is that you house your torta so fast in their parking lot that you accidentally give yourself a stomach ache. Sometimes, it’s just not your day." - sylvio martins
